It is being told that about 290 km long road will be important for the movement of troops and will provide an important link to the Kargil area, armed with heavy weapons in the border areas of the Ladakh region. It will be the third road link to Ladakh after the other two roads: Manali-Leh road and Srinagar-Leh highway. Work has been expedited on the reopening of an alternative road from Himachal Pradesh to Ladakh, as it is a strategically important road.
